After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 40 Gossip
When he handed out the bowl to hold the third bowl of rice, Li Changhai directly refused, "Your Majesty, you can't eat any more, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

The emperor's dinner was never too much, at most he was [-]% full. In the past, there were times when two bowls of rice were served, but never three bowls.

A certain emperor was so embarrassed that his son saw his gluttonous food, and felt a little hot, but he still had to pretend, after all, face is a big deal!
"Stupid slave, who told you to serve the meal, I asked you to pour me some hot water to drink."

Li Changhai: [... You are the emperor and you are right. 】

"It's the old slave's fault. The old slave will be wrong. This slave will add hot water to you."

Ye Hanyu pretended that she didn't hear anything, and tried to suppress the corners of her upturned mouth, for fear that being seen by her father would make him angry.

Quickly finish all the rice in the bowl and quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks.

The emperor pointed to the leftovers on the small table and said: "Stupid slave, you will be fined to eat these leftovers tonight, why don't you hurry up and clean them up."

Li Changhai: [Oh, I didn't expect such a beautiful thing to happen today. This is a dish cooked by the sixth concubine herself. There are two other dishes that I have never heard of. Today is really a blessing. 】

Ye Hanyu: Father says punishment, but it doesn't necessarily mean punishment, and the person who father calls stupid doesn't necessarily mean he is really stupid. Today he really understands the saying that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.

After Li Changhai went down with the dishes, there were only two father and son left in the Chaoyang Palace, the emperor said: "Let's go, go out with me to digest food."

The two father and son didn't go far, so they just walked casually around the Chaoyang Temple, walking around Ye Chonghua, and asked about his son's situation in the household department.

"I first went to the Ministry of Accounting, and I haven't formally contacted the work of the Ministry of Accounting, so I just watched and didn't talk about it."

The emperor wanted to be happy, it's not that he didn't know about the fact that the sixth child was left hanging in the household department, it was really embarrassing for this child, "You brothers all have their own errands, and the household department is in charge of Daxing's money and food, you have to take good care of it." study."

Ye Hanyu didn't say a word. He used to think that he had to manage the household department well, but after going out with Gu Shi today, his thinking changed.

No matter how good the management is, if there is no money, money will not be born out of thin air.

It's better to find a way to earn money to fill the treasury. With money, even if you spend more, it's nothing.

"Do you have any ideas? Let's hear it."

Ye Hanyu said: "My son went out for a day today and gained a lot.

To tell my father the truth, a few days ago Uncle Chen gave his son a lot of money, two shops and a Zhuangzi. "

Although he is not favored, he is not stupid. He knows that it is best to tell the truth in front of his father. If he is playing tricks with his father, he thinks that he died not fast enough.

The emperor said in his heart, this child really can't tell a lie in front of him, he even told about the money and the shop that Prince Chen gave him.

"Kerchen thought of many ways, but he couldn't think of a way to increase the profit of the shop.

Today, Muxiu, Erchen took Gu Shi out of the palace to look at the shop. As a result, she just stopped there, and she had a way to make money. By the way, she can make a snack called Malatang, what are you waiting for? Tian'erchen asked her to make it and sent it to his father to taste. It was a way of eating that he had never heard of before. "

The emperor nodded, indicating that he heard it.

"I went to look at the embroidery shop you gave her again, and she said that since she took over the shop, the income has increased several times, and the order has been scheduled until the end of the year, so I think a little too much."

The emperor seemed to be interested: "Oh? Let's hear it."

"I feel that professional people do professional things.

Just like Gu's, Erchen has never been in a business, so even if he has a shop, he can't make much money, but Gu's knows how to operate, and she can make more money by managing the same shop, but others can't.

Now the treasury's income mainly depends on agricultural tax and commercial tax, in addition to the income from salt and iron monopoly, and wine tax.

If you want to increase the treasury's income and have money in the household department, and your father doesn't have to worry about the military service of 200 million soldiers every year, then you have to think of other ways. "

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and he stopped walking forward. He turned slightly and looked at his son who was half a step behind him, "You want to do business?"

Ye Hanyu hurriedly saluted: "I am not a businessman. In terms of business, I am not even as good as my concubine, because I have never been in contact with business before.

But if the father asks the son to do this, the son will definitely study hard and do well what the father entrusts to the son. "

People in the world say that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the most humble, but without merchants, how can the world circulate food and clothing?Therefore, he never despised businessmen, nor did he reject business.

"I really don't want to see that when the ministers in the court stretched out their hands to ask the father for money, the father showed a look of embarrassment!

I also don't want my father to reduce his portion of regular food in order to increase income and reduce expenditure. Father is the monarch of the Daxing Dynasty and the wisest emperor in the world, so he should enjoy the best things in the world, not for mere money You can't be happy with your hands and feet tied!

The son-in-law did not want his father to be wronged. "

Ye Chonghua didn't speak for a long time. Since he came to the throne, he has always emphasized keeping the harem simple, and he also spends as little money as possible. Those officials who flatter him will praise him for worrying about the country and the people, working hard to govern, and being innovative and understanding people's sentiments , Love the people like a son, but no one has ever told him that he, the emperor, has been wronged.

When the first emperor was alive, there were only one or two hundred beauties in the harem, but at his peak, there were only more than 40 women. This was because the government was unstable at that time, and he had to accept those women for political purposes.

Now, including the new concubines who entered the palace in this year's draft, there are less than 30 people in total.

He is even more frugal in eating and clothing. He has not made new court clothes for two years, and regular clothes for the four seasons can be avoided if possible. There are only 48 dishes, and he will also reward these 48 dishes to reward his confidants.

Is he wronged?

For the sake of the people of the world, for the prosperity of the Daxing Dynasty, I will not be wronged!

He calculated the accounts, and the money he saved could be distributed to nearly ten thousand soldiers every year!
Because of his frugal policy, the harem has reduced a lot of expenses, and the money can support tens of thousands of soldiers.

But are you really not wronged?

If the treasury has money, why is he doing this? !

"I understand what you mean, and I will think about it carefully."

Ye Chonghua fell into deep thought. Concubine Shu begged him before she died, let him take care of Lao Liu to grow up safely, and let him be a carefree prince after he gets married.

The sixth child has also been working hard in accordance with the requirements of his mother and concubine these years. He has never made friends with any officials, and he is not far or close to his brothers. His only wish is to live his own life in peace and stability.

However, if he was asked to go into business because of this, he still couldn't make up his mind.
